Search - The Memory Keeper's Daughter

I was really looking forward to reading this book as the theme of the story was really interesting to me, but I did not enjoy this as much as I would have liked to. There were too many "rabbit trails." Too many trips into David and Norah's past. I know the author was trying to tie the events of the past to those of the character's present, but it was too much. I found myself thinking, "Would you please just get on with it." Once I FINALLY got to the end I was actually really pleased with the way the story ended. I don't like the sappy everything is suddenly perfect "happily ever after endings." So the fact that it had a very realistic ending was pleasing to me! If you have the time and a strong enough interest it isn't a bad story it just takes so long to get through it!

Kim Edwards’ novel, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, proved to be an excellent choice. It is a wonderful debut for this promising writer. The story is compelling and the telling well crafted. Fascinating account of a man’s choice one wintry evening, and the unfolding consequences through the rest of his life, and that of his family.

OH My! I can't say enough about this book! It is superb. I picked it up and read every spare moment I got! The story line is without a doubt one of the best. It is one of those books that as you read, you feel like you personally know the characters. They are just that vivid. I wont go into what it is about because you can read that for yourself but just know it would be worth it if you paid full price for it. I almost kept it but saw that there were ppl waiting on the wish list and keeping would be so selfish! I know I am rambling on but you won't be disappointed in this book. It is one you will stay up late reading and go to work sleepy cause you stayed up! Enjoy!

One of my favorite books I've ever read. I couldn't put it down once I started. Five stars for this one.

Bittersweet! Captivated me so I did not want to put it down!

This books has many twist and turns. Some you could never think of having happened. It was wonderful, suspenseful, yet sad. I did keep this copy because I loved it so much for the depth it goes into. Grand Reading.
